Biography:
GOLDIE, Emma Mary, later ROSEN (1819-63: ancestry.co.uk)
She was born on 29 Sept. at Long Ashton, Somerset, the daughter of Lt. Col Thomas Goldie (1773-1849) and his wife Charlotte Clark (1789-1875). As a young girl she published Poems (1835), a set of four long tales. She does not appear to have published further. Her father died in Bath in 1849. At some point between 1851 and 1856, the family consisting of mother, four daughters, and a son moved to Jersey. Emma Goldie married Ferdinand Rosen, a sculptor, on 25 Mar. 1856 at St. Saviour, Jersey. She gave her age as 30. He was 27. (She may therefore not have told him of her published volume.) They later moved to Canada for an as yet unknown period where she gave birth to two children in Toronto in 1857 and 1859. She had returned to Jersey with the children by 1861 and was once again living with her mother and an unmarried sister. She died at St. Helier, Jersey, on 18 Nov. 1863.
